All of us have at home a folder with immigration papers - copies of I-485 receipts (or approvals, you lucky people), I-140 approvals (which took forever), H1 document sets etc etc, you know what I mean. So I wonder how thick got your folders marked INS (mine is INS because it was INS and not CIS when I started)???
Mine is actually 418 pages thick. I have copies of my diplomas, marriage cert., birth cert., translations of those, copies of old passport pages, I485, I140, LC, doctors papers, copies of all AP/EAD applications, all I94s, all H1s including the 7th year extension... the works.
I even have a copy my 1st US employer's (aka "the sweatshop") "promissory note" where they asked me to pay them back $25000 minus a thousand bucks for every month I worked for them (yep, it was not only Indians that had these things, Croatians also had one such company).
 
Mine is simple.
1. Three H1 approval notices (Notice of action) - including all the paperworks lawyers had attached with them - LCA, letters etc.
2. Photocopy of labor certification (for GC)
3. Photocopy of I-140
4. Photocopy of I-485 receipt
5. Original I-485 approval notice (attorney's copy)
6. Photocopies of GC plastic card.
7. AP (I never give it back to USCIS)
8. EAD card (never gave it back)
9. Photocopy of passport (front-cover-to-back-cover copy)
 
It is the multiple photocopies that make my immigration folder big. I don't count my degree certificates while counting the immigration paper work though. :)
